SolarWinds to Debut a New Approach to Exchange Monitoring at MEC 2014

SolarWinds Latest AppInsight for Exchange Technology Enables Sysadmins and Exchange Admins to Interpret End-User Email Behavior and Proactively Address Email as a Business-Critical Application, Avoiding Downtime and the Disruption of Business Functions

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2014) - SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today announced its participation at the Microsoft Exchange Conference, MEC 2014, which brings together Exchange and Office 365 IT Professionals on March 30 through April 2, 2014, in Austin, TX. SolarWinds will showcase its latest version of SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor (SAM) featuring AppInsight for Exchange, which empowers sysadmins and Exchange admins to proactively prevent downtime of business-critical email application availability with comprehensive technology that has traditionally only been available in expensive, specialized tools.

With SolarWinds SAM's new AppInsight for Exchange, admins can now automate routine data collection -- formerly done by running tens or hundreds of PowerShell scripts -- and employ the unique agentless technology to quickly identify and tackle performance issues affecting the Microsoft Exchange Server all in a single dashboard that includes visibility into the surrounding server, hardware and application performance metrics monitored by SolarWinds SAM as well.

"IT Pros in our thwack community have told us that email has become the de-facto mission critical application, and in the spirit of our user-centric, purpose-built product approach, SolarWinds is giving them a new automated approach to monitoring Exchange," said Suaad Sait, executive vice president, products and markets, SolarWinds. "SolarWinds' new AppInsight for Exchange seeks to simplify the previously tedious and time-consuming email management tasks to instead focus on the forward-thinking application and IT infrastructure improvements. At MEC 2014, we are excited to talk to IT Pros about how SolarWinds can provide visibility into how applications like Exchange are running with SolarWinds SAM as well as a number of other products that provide integrated visibility across the application stack."
